The skeletal system: The bones of the skeletal system hold the body together‚ give it shape and support weight. They also enable the body to move and provide protection to the vital organs. There are four types of bones found in the human body: they are long bones which can be found in the arms‚ legs‚ fingers and toes‚ short bones which are found in the wrist and ankles‚ flat bones such as those in the skull‚ thorax and pelvis‚ irregular bones such as the bones of the vertebral column and face

body is made up of a number of systems that all interlink and produce everything we need in order to survive. Within the body there is the digestive system; the circulatory system‚ the nervous system‚ the muscular system‚ the skeletal system and the reproductive system. These systems are all part of one another and they share organs‚ tissues and cells and that is how they interlink. The diagram above shows each system and where they are located in the body. Each system is shown in a different image

Evaluate the roles of 3 body systems‚ of your choice‚ in maintaining the characteristics of living things in humans. The roles of the body systems within the human body are very significant and they contribute to help maintaining certain functions within the body. Without the systems‚ our bodies would not operate to their full extent and we would struggle on a day to day basis. The skeletal‚ digestive and reproductive systems are just three body systems that help us to maintain some of these functions

The Musculoskeletal System The Musculoskeletal System combines the skeletal system and the muscular system. All of the bones‚ cartilage‚ muscles‚ joints‚ tendons and ligaments in a person’s body compose what is known as the musculoskeletal system. The bones provide the body with a framework‚ giving it shape and support; they also serve as protection for internal organs such as the lungs and liver. Muscles are fibres that help to make deliberate movement of a body part or involuntary movement within

In order to survive all the body systems in an animal need to function together. In all there are 10 major human body systems. Three of these systems are the skeletal system‚ muscular system‚ and the digestive system. The skeletal system supports and protects our inner organs. Without it we would be like a big bowl of jello‚ and your organs would get glopped by the rest of your body. Our bones make it possible to move. To help us move better we have four different types of joints. A joint is where

and Nervous Systems Introduction: Bones are what our skeletal systems are made up of. There are 206 bones in the human body of the adult skeleton. The adult skeleton is broken up in two divisions: the axial skeleton‚ and the appendicular skeleton. The axil skeleton is made up of 80 bones‚ and the appendicular skeleton is made up of 126 bones. As for the different systems of the body‚ we dissected a fetal pig in groups and indicated each system as we went along. The digestive system is made up

The Aging Musculoskeletal System Crysany Arroyo GE 258 ITT Technical Institute Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a disease that is described by low bone mass and loss of bone tissue basically thinning of the bones that lead to weak and fragile bones. Bones are always in a state of changing where new bone tissues are replacing the old bone tissue in order to keep the strength. It affects men and women but it is usually a disease that affects mostly women. However

The Aging Musculoskeletal System When the bones lose mass and become brittle it is called osteoporosis. Loss of bone density accelerates in women after menopause. Mrs. Smith is an 84 year old thin‚ small boned woman. Muscles‚ bones and joints are affected by the ageing process. Osteoarthritis‚ osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis are more common in older people. Exercise to increase muscle and bone fitness can reduce or reverse the risk of disability and disease.
